Not long ago I purchased some vintage French embroidered letter ribbon from Etsy. It had my initials, only backwards: 'FS'. It's been fun sewing the ribbon on kitchen towels and these linen heart sachets:
I like the little French box it came in, too:
Couldn't help but embroider a coordinating sachet with our first initials (dear husband and me):
It's always fun to personalize linens around our house. I'll be putting these in the kitchen soon, to enjoy the lavender aroma.
Have a great week - spring is right around the corner!

You've made your own stunning heirloom redwork! So pretty!
These are beautiful! It seems anything with red lettering or stripes is very popular right now.
Enjoy the aroma:-)

New follower here...Red and white embroidery is a favorite of mine, it always looks so fresh and lovely.
I'm also a fan of Tilda crafts. I have many of her books; I just need to stop browsing them and actually make something :-)

I want to get back into sewing so bad , your little post may just have inspired me to do so...Thanks Lori
Love the little hearts!!! Blessings!!!
How sweet, Susan! I picked up some embroidery supplies this winter, too. I wanted to put my initials on some grain sacks I have. You have inspired me to get it done! :)

Aw shucks! And here I thought the SB initials were for me!! LOL Just kidding. Beautiful work Susan!! I really need to get busy and create something as I have really been slacking!

Love the red and white! So frenchy!
Those are just gorgeous. I found you via French Country Cottage. So glad I did.
Hi Susan!
Oh, this is soooo beautiful! I wish I could sew half as good as that!!! The embroidery looks perfect!!! :) You always do such a fabulous job on your Etsy projects - and it looks like so much fun to make! :) Anyway, I hope you've been well. Take care and enjoy your upcoming weekend!

Your little hearts are charming. ;-)
These are such pretty little hearts! Love it!

So sweet!! Thank you for linking up at Feathered Nest Friday!
Beautiful example of red work, really enjoyed reading your fun posts today
I love the French initial ribbons!
I have some that are my initials, as well. I think it's really fun that they intend for you to put your last name first. I haven't used any of mine yet, but I hope to soon!
Hearts,
Betsy
